Looking to Get a Divorce? Slow Down

Divorce season is about to come to an end. As we previously wrote,March is the peak of divorce season as many couples begin filing after the new year and continue into the spring. But it is important not to rush into a life changing event such as divorce. If you have questions about filing a divorce, Vayman & Teitelbaum can help. Their experienced family law attorneys can give you insight on what to do if you are planning a divorce.

Calm Down

Manydivorces are filed in the heat of battle. Therefore, it is important to wait until the initial anger has subsided. If you are no longer angry, but still want to seek out a divorce, then by all means, it may be the right thing to do. However, you may find yourself feeling better about the situation once some calm is restored.

You Have Filed for Divorce, Now What?

If you have filed for a divorce, you may not know what to do next. One thing you can do is get into the proper mindframe. Divorce experts have likened divorce to business. You must prepare for it in the same way, and not let your emotions get in the way. While this may be difficult, it is important to think clearly and practically to ensure the smoothest transition.

Keep Your Cool

Once the divorce proceeding has started, there is little benefit to being mean or uncivil toward your soon-to-be ex. In fact, you want to work together to achieve a quick and painless divorce. Therefore, it makes sense to be nice to one another to gain what you both want. If you can avoid angering each other and work toward the common goal, you will be in a better place at the end.

Move Forward

Before youfinalize the divorce papers, it is recommended that you speak to your soon-to-be ex. Talking about the experience and what the future holds for each of you can be a way to smooth the final days of marriage. If you have children, then this is something you should definitely do for their sake. Do not be afraid of each other, as open communication can solve plenty of problems that often muddle up the process.

Do Not be Thrown into Chaos

Rushing into divorce can throw your life into chaos. Do not forget the chaos your children will feel if you rush things. This is why acting on your anger can be the cause of problems. Think things through and plan before you decide to seek your family law attorney.
